Calling this a bakery seems to be selling it a bit short, Of course there are plenty of baked goods on offer, but you'll also find soups, sandwiches, and much more. It's a great spot to fill up at after a long ride through the desert.

The town of Tehachapi got its start as an important railway station for the gold mines in the surrounding hills. These days there are a number of charming historic buildings, many along Green Street, which can be visited while passing through the area.

Crazy bit of railway engineering where the track loops over itself to get up and down the hill. Good viewing area here.

Good highway with a wide shoulder runs along the mostly flat edge of the Mohave. Passing miles of electricity wind mills, here also crossing some streams that might have water in winter..
